Jakarta and Surroundings
Jakarta is the capital of island nation Indonesia and its largest city, with an ever-growing population of around 10 million. The city is home to a mixture of Indonesian and immigrant culture, as the city’s economic and political importance in the region attracts thousands of working expatriates every year.
The city’s architecture, festivals and music are also heavily influenced by Indonesia’s Dutch and Portuguese colonial past. Jakarta Old Town is home to a number of museums, housed within old colonial buildings.
The city also plays host to several prestigious, international events, such as the Jakarta International Film Festival, the International Java Jazz Festival, and Fashion Week.
The local cuisine is a unique mixture of Sundanese, Javanese, and Malay-Chinese foods, and often heavily features creamy, spicy sauces, meat and fresh produce. It’s easy to pick up a big, cheap serving of rice, meat skewers or dumplings from street vendors on every corner.
It’s easy to get around the city, with a number of different transport options on offer; from regular, public buses, to motorcycle taxis and rickshaws. The city also has a long-distance rail station with connections to a number of other major cities on the island of Java, and an international airport with flights to several international destinations.
Jakarta’s tropical climate means that the weather is warm and humid all year round. During the wet season, from November to February, the monthly rainfall averages about 300 millimetres.
